Exam 10: Systems Implementation and Operation

A test case is a specific scenario of transactions, queries, or navigation paths that represent a typical, critical, or abnormal use of the system.

Changes made to a system to fix or enhance its functionality best defines:

Reverse engineering and reengineering tools are primarily used to maintain older systems that have incomplete documentation or that were developed prior to automated tools.

Baseline routines are guidelines that list the instructions to construct an executable system from the baseline source code.

Match each of the following terms with its corresponding definition. -The process whereby actual users test a completed information system, the end result of which is the users' acceptance of it

Match each of the following terms with its corresponding definition. -Changes made to a system to avoid possible future problems

Information systems personnel and end users are the two audiences for the final systems documentation.

The purpose of acceptance testing is to:

Desk checking is a testing technique in which the program code is sequentially executed manually by the reviewer.

An electronic performance support system is a component of a software package with training and education information embedded.

Changing over from the old information system to a new one by turning off the old system as the new one is turned on best describes:

Match each of the following types of user documentation with its corresponding description. -This type of documentation contains information about a new system release, including a list of complete documentation for the new release, features and enhancements, known problems and how they have been dealt with in the new release, and information about installation.

Match each of the following terms with its corresponding definition. -Changing over from the old information system to a new one by turning off the old system when the new one is turned on

System documentation that is part of the program source code or is generated at compile time best defines:

Match each of the following terms with its corresponding definition. -The ease with which software can be understood, corrected, adapted, and enhanced

Match each of the following terms with its corresponding definition. -Changes made to a system to evolve its functionality to changing business needs or technologies

During an inspection test, exactly what the code does is investigated.

The process whereby the physical design specifications created by the design team are turned into working computer code by the programming team is referred to as:

The coexistence of the old and new systems is characteristic of the parallel installation approach.

All user training must be done as a formal course.
